TAXPAYER ADVOCATE RELEASES LEGISLATIVE “REPORT CARD”

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has released its 2017 Legislative Report Card grading lawmakers on legislative bills important to taxpayers. The Report Card is a non-partisan tool to help taxpayers hold legislators accountable by tracking their individual votes.

A record 79 legislators failed the scorecard while only 24 got a grade of “A.”

“The trend is not good,” said HJTA President Jon Coupal. “By approving major new burdens on middle class taxpayers, the current crop of Sacramento lawmakers is exhibiting an outright hostility to the taxpayers who pay the state’s bills.”
